ABSTRACT:
A toy for propelling soft spherical projectiles includes a projectile of material such as foamed plastic, and a hand held launcher. A tubular elastic member is anchored to the projectile and extends through the projectile and out of a surface of the projectile a sufficient distance to allow a user to grasp and stretch the elastic member. The launcher includes a hand grip and a seat against which the projectile is positioned, and an opening to the rear of the seat through which the elastic member extends. After positioning the projectile on the seat, a user pulls the elastic member rearward to stretch, then releases it to propel the projectile forward. The projectile may include a strip of adhering material such as a hook and loop fastener; a target with a complementary adhering material may be mounted on a wall or the launcher.
